Music on my Mind – Part Five – XTINA

This is some bold new territory for me. You see, I have never really been a fan of Christina Aguilera’s music. I never minded her that much, it was more that damn warbling she did in her songs that infuriated me. I kind of liked her feisty attitude and the fact she didn’t seem to give  damn. But her music mostly drove me nuts. I hated her pin up phase, it was way to cutesy and clean-cut. To me the real XTINA is Dirrty. Man that is a great song and an amazing film clip.
So I was pretty ashamed at myself for now checking her song “Not Myself Tonight” out sooner. In fact I’d only heard a cover version of it in one of my gym classes and had no idea who it was actually by. I am really impressed by it, she’s back to being her sexual self and it’s a really sexy clip. I know at first it seems a bit Lady Gaga-ish at first but more than anything it reminds me more of one of the sexiest film clips of all times “Human Nature” by Madonna.

I was shocked to realise I barely even noticed her warbling, which is usually all I can hear in her songs. It’s about time she showed off the rest of her voice instead of just relying on that damn 90s white female singer cliche. Well done Christina, you’ve gone back to what you’re good at and you look absolutely amazing doing it!
